KARA'S CUPCAKES



Kara's Cupcakes opened in our local Oxbow Market, fashioned after The Ferry Building in San Francisco. It was locals night last night at Oxbow Market. We ate at Taylor's Refresher with half of Napa, then walked next door to the Oxbow Market and got a scoop of ice cream from Three Twins and mini cupcakes from Kara's Cupcakes. Kara's Cupcakes are delicious and they have the absolute best frosting I have EVER tasted. The mini cupcakes were $1 for locals. We bought 8. Kara has 5 stores in the bay area and she graced us with her presence for the grand opening in Napa. Kaia and I got butterflies. She is pretty and talented and was very focused on her work. If you ever pass by a Kara's Cupcakes, do yourself a favor and stop in for a sweet treat.

Kara's cupcakes are the best. We have a Kara's and a Sprinkles down here by us, Kara's is definitely my favorite! I'll have to check out the Oxbow market next time I visit my Mom, I keep hearing great things about it, same with Slide Inn...

Someone I follow on Twitter had posted that they opened Tuesday so I knew I had to go by. I had tried the other two in town that recently opened so of course I needed to see how Kara's measured up. Let me just say Kara's by far blew the other two out of the water.Did you get one of the free t-shirts they were giving away, I picked one up for my daughter.. too cute.
Have you been to GiGi's? I think you would like the cupcake plates and things and the decor of the store.
